The following items are optional:

Wet wipes

Trekking poles

Camera, batteries

Penknife

Travel clothes

Small padlock (to lock trek bag)

Earplugs (Especially if you are not the one snoring)

You will need to carry all of your personal gear for the 5 or 6 days that are spent in the Tatras. On account of this, we advise that you take a rucksack of around 40 litres capacity. Note that bedding including sheets is provided in the refuges and, therefore, a sleeping bag is not needed. The refuges all have hot showers but towels are not provided.
